[ Voice, Action ] .017

[It's the second day of a heatwave, and it's amazing how little things like weather can drive man-eating butterflies, flying trees of burning pointy doom, and missing friends from a Southern Watertibe girl's mind. ...OK, maybe not that last one, but she's feeling this heat in her bones, man, and it's driven her to put on her Fire Nation outfit and just lounge around, trying not to think about the horrible things she's seen week... which of course makes her think about the horrible things she's seen everywhere.

But the best way to get rid of bad memories is to think about good ones... and when that fails, make them.

And so, Katara Has An Idea. She grabs her brother, he agrees, and they make their way to the center of the square and set up a table. It's laden with fruits and sugars and stacks of glasses.

A little bit of waterbending later? And that fountain is now completely iced over, meant to resemble one of their 'Great Wonders of the World', an ice oasis in the middle of the desert.

When they're all set up, Katara makes a voice entry.]

Hey, everyone! Come on to the fountain for free fruit slushies!


[Feel free to come upon them on any part of the process, stop by for a slushie, or take a look at the pretty ice-fountain! Either Sokka, Katara or (eventually, as I have to run out right now) both will answer!]

It's been a long time since I've had a slushie... Back in Bodhum, for sure.

[markofthebrave]

Bodhum? Is that where home is for you?

[focusfulfilled.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Well, that's the town. Bodham's in Cocoon. [A smile, since it was kind of the girl to take an interest.]

[markofthebrave]

So Cocoon is the name of your world and Bodham is the name of your town. It sounds like an interesting place!

Feel free to come on down and have some, if you want. We've got all kinds of fruits here.

I... Well, I can't exactly go anywhere. A half-dozen people will freak out if I leave the clinic.

[markofthebrave]

Oh! I'm sorry, I didn't know.

...what flavor would you like? I can bring you one. We're right in the square, after all.

[focusfulfilled.livejournal.com]

I'll try your favorite. I don't care if it's weird. [A grin.]

[markofthebrave]

[She laughs a little.] I think my favorite would disappoint you if you want weird. Who should I ask for at the clinic?

[focusfulfilled.livejournal.com]

Serah. Serah Farron, but I think they'd know just 'Serah' by now.

[markofthebrave]

I'm Katara. I'll be there soon.

[And so, the preparation of one peach slushie later, Katara is on her way to the clinic. She will find her way to Serah's room and knock on the doorframe.]

Hello? Serah?

[Serah was looking through a book she'd found (totally 'not out of bed at all') in one of the rooms, though not reading seriously. She looks up at her name, then grins.]

Katara.
